Turbo's For All

[r32skyline_89]

do you have anything in the way of a t03/t04 hybrid

[The Dan]

They are so old now...it's not worth the trouble. It's basically a highflow your after though. Highflows are still about $1800 and are good for 400hp on your RB20.

Hi daniel, can i trouble you for your opinion??

How much horsepower/kilowatts do you want? suitable up to 230rwkw

What are you using the car for? street / drag / track. Reliability is a big issue (i use my line to drive all over sth est qld for work)

When do you want boost roughly? eg. 2200/2500 would be ideal but not run out of flow before 6000 minimum

Do you want power early or late in the rev range? - bit of both if thats possible.

What Mods you engine has or is going to have including computers or exhaust etc.?

3.5in turboback exhaust, r34gtt cooler, power fc (to come), walbro pump (to come)

Obviously, what car? 94 series 1 r33, manual.

Intercooled? and is it large, small, medium? see above (r34 cooler)

Still running AFM or upgraded or no longer there? stock / z32 one at later stage

Custom exhaust manifold or standard? standard - willing to go adaptor or custom manifold depending on whats cheaper/ easier

External wastegate or internal(limited to virtually 450hp)? internal

Could you give me some recommendations?

Also, what would be the approx cost all up?? (braided lines, external manifold/adapter if necessary and rough cost of a workshop to do labor).

ideally my budget would be less than 2500 installed.

Hope you can help with some info

It is very hard to retain such an early boost and still achieve high results. It sounds as though you are aiming for a highflow. I'm not too sure that th 34 cooler will do you any favours at 230rwkw but it should be ok. The higflows typically come on boost around 2800 and hold past 7000....you can expect to see full boost around the 3500 mark. The R33 highflow is reliable to approx 380-400hp so it will be the best package to do what you want it for. You won't need to change any of the lines or hoses...it will all just bolt straight back on in place.

Highflow is still $1800 depending on condition. Meaning it could go down to $1750 or up to $1850...but usually they stay at $1800. I charge $200 to remove and refit the turbo as long as you are in Brisbane somewhere.

There are other options with adapting a turbo to fit but the costs are usually not represented in the overall result compared to a highflow. For $2100 I can graft the exhaust housing of your turbo to the back of a GT30R which will still net you fairly early boost figures, you get the twin ball bearing cartridge as well. This would cost another $150-$200 in braid lines and roughly another $200 in intake modifications. Not the right setup for you though.

Hope I haven't confused you at all....just PM me if you have any other questions. or email at codered@bigpond.net.au

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

no wasn't looking to get 230rwkw just wanted the turbo to support around that much as a minimum. Once i wound the boost above say 15psi i would definatley change coolers,

anyway pm sent (actually pm sending..)

[BOVed]

My RB20 Hiflow was capable of that horsepower figure.

At 17 PSI I put out 218 RWKW.

That 300 hp is roughly what they are rated to when hiflowed. It doesn't mean they are not capable of 450hp it just means they usually only last 12 months like that.

With your other question, the same turbo I am putting on mine would be a bolt on. It's a ball bearing turbo and rated at 450hp. usually 50hp higher can still be achieved SAFELY though. Plus being a BB turbo it will spool hell quick and will outlast a highflow RB25 turbo anyday, and for roughly the same price maybe a couple hundred more.

which turbo are you putting on?

[The Dan]

which turbo are you putting on?

Umm, that was a while ago now.

I ended up going for the GT2876R but altered the stock manifold to suit it, relocated the AFM and re-did some of the intake plus braided lines....all in all wasn't too much of a drama. The hardest part was adapting the T3 dump to the T25 housing.

How much are they going for and how much do you think it would cost to get a mech to do what you did(Im in vic so couldnt get you to do it)
